This warming effect first became visible around 2013-2014. As much as i hate that orange menace, this thing was already happening before him. It'll take several years, if not a decade for his actions to show their effect on the climate. From the article: Across all of the datasets, the acceleration started to become visible in 2013 or 2014. The researchers describe the broader shift as beginning around 2015, when the evidence became clearer. Further in the article they point out, that they don't have an explanation yet, but they do mention that the models occasionally show that kind of effect. So it's not entirely unexpected. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children) I hate data centers as much as the next guy but usually there is a lag time of several years for climate change to link to its causes.
